"It's May, and by the way,you may, if you'd like."
"Like what?" he snorts
and she retorts:"Take a hike."
"It's May, and you may,
that is, if you want."
"Want what?" he asks.
She masks ill mood in taunt.
"It's May, and you may,
I mean, if you wish."
"What wish?" says he, confused.
She's not amused, in anguish
and no more enthused about the much-sung
lusty month of May.
"It's May, you idiot, don't you get it?"
No? So now you may NOT. will not.
Clearly you don't even care,"
she cries. "Just go away."
And he, still unaware
of what he's done so wrong
throws up his hands and goes.

Some folks have a hard time coming right out and saying what they want. Then they get upset when no one reads their minds and delivers. Personally, I think life is too short for playing games. If you want something, ask. The answer may not always be yes, but at least you've communicated honestly..
